What is the salary of a NCAA division II baseball coach?

THE ANSWER IS ANYWHERE FROM $75,000 TO $100,000

It varies, as do all coaching salaires, but the average is $60 - 90k. The top coaches in Division II, for programs like Grand Valley State, Northwest Missouri State, and the like can make well in excess of $100k. This doesn't take into account accessorial benefits as well, which was add as much as $50k to that figure. The top salary I've personally head of is Chuck Martin at GVSU, who makes around $175,000 when the accessorial benefits are taken into consideration. There may be someone who makes a little more than that, but there aren't many and it isn't much more.
